Separate release from interpretation
Show source data, previous, expected, actual, revision and analyst interpretation distinctly.
Expectations matter
Markets can move when outcomes differ from what was already priced, not simply because a figure is positive or negative.
Source quality
Prefer official statistics, central banks, issuers, exchanges and other primary sources.
Common questions
Why can a currency fall after strong data?: Positioning, expectations, revisions and other factors can matter.
Is one data point enough?: Usually not; context and trend are important.
